Psalms:32-35
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven ,
whose sin is covered .
*
Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity ,
and in whose spirit there is no guile .
*
When I kept silence ,
my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long .
*
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me :
my moisture is turned into the drought of summer .
Selah .
*
I acknowledged my sin unto thee ,
and mine iniquity have I not hid .
I said ,
I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD ;
and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin .
Selah .
*
For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found :
surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him .
*
Thou art my hiding place ;
thou shalt preserve me from trouble ;
thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance .
Selah .
*
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go :
I will guide thee with mine eye .
*
Be ye not as the horse ,
or as the mule ,
which have no understanding :
whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle ,
lest they come near unto thee .
*
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked :
but he that trusteth in the LORD ,
mercy shall compass him about .
*
Be glad in the LORD ,
and rejoice ,
ye righteous :
and shout for joy ,
all ye that are upright in heart .
*
Rejoice in the LORD ,
O ye righteous :
for praise is comely for the upright .
*
Praise the LORD with harp :
sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings .
*
Sing unto him a new song ;
play skilfully with a loud noise .
*
For the word of the LORD is right ;
and all his works are done in truth .
*
He loveth righteousness and judgment :
the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD .
*
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made ;
and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth .
*
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap :
he layeth up the depth in storehouses .
*
Let all the earth fear the LORD :
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him .
*
For he spake ,
and it was done ;
he commanded ,
and it stood fast .
*
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought :
he maketh the devices of the people of none effect .
*
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever ,
the thoughts of his heart to all generations .
*
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD ;
and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance .
*
The LORD looketh from heaven ;
he beholdeth all the sons of men .
*
From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth .
*
He fashioneth their hearts alike ;
he considereth all their works .
*
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host :
a mighty man is not delivered by much strength .
*
An horse is a vain thing for safety :
neither shall he deliver any by his great strength .
*
Behold ,
the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him ,
upon them that hope in his mercy ;
*
To deliver their soul from death ,
and to keep them alive in famine .
*
Our soul waiteth for the LORD :
he is our help and our shield .
*
For our heart shall rejoice in him ,
because we have trusted in his holy name .
*
Let thy mercy ,
O LORD ,
be upon us ,
according as we hope in thee .
*
I will bless the LORD at all times :
his praise shall continually be in my mouth .
*
My soul shall make her boast in the LORD :
the humble shall hear thereof ,
and be glad .
*
O magnify the LORD with me ,
and let us exalt his name together .
*
I sought the LORD ,
and he heard me ,
and delivered me from all my fears .
*
They looked unto him ,
and were lightened :
and their faces were not ashamed .
*
This poor man cried ,
and the LORD heard him ,
and saved him out of all his troubles .
*
The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him ,
and delivereth them .
*
O taste and see that the LORD is good :
blessed is the man that trusteth in him .
*
O fear the LORD ,
ye his saints :
for there is no want to them that fear him .
*
The young lions do lack ,
and suffer hunger :
but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing .
*
Come ,
ye children ,
hearken unto me :
I will teach you the fear of the LORD .
*
What man is he that desireth life ,
and loveth many days ,
that he may see good ?
*
Keep thy tongue from evil ,
and thy lips from speaking guile .
*
Depart from evil ,
and do good ;
seek peace ,
and pursue it .
*
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous ,
and his ears are open unto their cry .
*
The face of the LORD is against them that do evil ,
to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth .
*
The righteous cry ,
and the LORD heareth ,
and delivereth them out of all their troubles .
*
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart ;
and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit .
*
Many are the afflictions of the righteous :
but the LORD delivereth him out of them all .
*
He keepeth all his bones :
not one of them is broken .
*
Evil shall slay the wicked :
and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate .
*
The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants :
and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate .
*
Plead my cause ,
O LORD ,
with them that strive with me :
fight against them that fight against me .
*
Take hold of shield and buckler ,
and stand up for mine help .
*
Draw out also the spear ,
and stop the way against them that persecute me :
say unto my soul ,
I am thy salvation .
*
Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul :
let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt .
*
Let them be as chaff before the wind :
and let the angel of the LORD chase them .
*
Let their way be dark and slippery :
and let the angel of the LORD persecute them .
*
For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit ,
which without cause they have digged for my soul .
*
Let destruction come upon him at unawares ;
and let his net that he hath hid catch himself :
into that very destruction let him fall .
*
And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD :
it shall rejoice in his salvation .
*
All my bones shall say ,
LORD ,
who is like unto thee ,
which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him ,
yea ,
the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him ?
*
False witnesses did rise up ;
they laid to my charge things that I knew not .
*
They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul .
*
But as for me ,
when they were sick ,
my clothing was sackcloth :
I humbled my soul with fasting ;
and my prayer returned into mine own bosom .
*
I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother :
I bowed down heavily ,
as one that mourneth for his mother .
*
But in mine adversity they rejoiced ,
and gathered themselves together :
yea ,
the abjects gathered themselves together against me ,
and I knew it not ;
they did tear me ,
and ceased not :
*
With hypocritical mockers in feasts ,
they gnashed upon me with their teeth .
*
Lord ,
how long wilt thou look on ?
rescue my soul from their destructions ,
my darling from the lions .
*
I will give thee thanks in the great congregation :
I will praise thee among much people .
*
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me :
neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause .
*
For they speak not peace :
but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land .
*
Yea ,
they opened their mouth wide against me ,
and said ,
Aha ,
aha ,
our eye hath seen it .
*
This thou hast seen ,
O LORD :
keep not silence :
O Lord ,
be not far from me .
*
Stir up thyself ,
and awake to my judgment ,
even unto my cause ,
my God and my Lord .
*
Judge me ,
O LORD my God ,
according to thy righteousness ;
and let them not rejoice over me .
*
Let them not say in their hearts ,
Ah ,
so would we have it :
let them not say ,
We have swallowed him up .
*
Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt :
let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me .
*
Let them shout for joy ,
and be glad ,
that favour my righteous cause :
yea ,
let them say continually ,
Let the LORD be magnified ,
which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant .
*
And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long .
*
The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart ,
that there is no fear of God before his eyes .
